********************
General Notes: Info from self via phone (1996). John retired after a career in the US Postal Service. One of his passions was The War Between the States, on which subject he had an extensive library. He was a member of Sons of the Confederacy, having descended directly from a Confederate veteran, John Lammon. Another hobby of John's was the family ancestry. (See notes for John Lammon, for example.) Blessed with a very good memory, he remembered stories about the family that had been passed down from one generation to the next since the family left Scotland. He served in the US Navy. John Duncan, never having gotten a college education, was rightly proud of having put each of his three sons through college.
